Centre of Angels

TWENTY ­ FIVE years ago a Hell’s Angels gang in Aachen, Germany on the border of Luxembourg and Belgium, decided to devote their time to helping others. They bought a zoo, named it the Noah’s Ark Centre, and turned it into a respite centre for sick children.

Now the group have headed to Spain and are in the process of setting up their Spanish counterpart named the Centre of Angels. The centre is being set up so children with serious illnesses, terminal illnesses and physical or mental challenges have a place to go, relax, have some fun or rest.

The founder Leines Gaworski had previously lived in Spain and decided it would be a wonderful idea to build a similar centre in Mojacar which will cater for European children of all ages and medical situations.

Leines confirmed: “We have chosen Delfos on the Mojacar to Turre road for its beautiful and spacious sur­ roundings. There are currently three apartments that already exist with the possibility of expansion if permitted.”

Even behind­the­scenes work is happening as a local prominent lawyer is actively working on getting the correct permits for building the project and registering it as a legal charity.

At present, the project is being privately funded and a group of talented volunteers have offered to help with many aspects of the project.

It is also planned that funds will be raised through cultural and artistic events at Delfos including prominent Flamenco guitarist, Aitor Gomez, amongst others.
